About this episode

Nora enlists true-crime host Alan Humphrey to solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance and a deathbot.

Nora, a scientist’s daughter, enlists true-crime host Alan Humphrey to solve the disappearance of her mother’s “deathbot.” At first, Humphrey is reluctant to take the job, but he can not resist the mystery. The clues soon take Humphrey from New Yellowknife to Uranium City, a defunct mining town. Once there, he uncovers a secret research project, whispered rumours about a deterrent, and something living beneath the northern forests. Is this a hoax, a rumour, or something else?
